In this essay, we will be comparing King Cheng Tang of the Shang Dynasty to Chaing Kai Shek of China.

Although these two political leaders ruled the same part of the world centuries apart, they were very different.  Cheng Tang was the first ruling king of the Shang Dynasty.  After defeating xia army he pointed out the Jie, the last king had not been following the mandate of heaven.  Once in power tang lowered taxes, followed the mandate of heaven and the Shang dynasty loved that.  In contrast to Tang's leadership style, Chaing kai-shek was not as loved by his people. Chaing kai-shek did not like the communist party.  He didn't want anyone to strengthen the communist party so he led a white terror revolution called the "shanghai massacre of 1027".  This massacre took millions of lives in rual areas, almost destroying the communist party.

The are different because Cheng Tang cared about him.  He followed the mandate of heaven.  Chaing kai-shek did not.  He didn't want his poeple to join the communist people so he killed thousands of them.
